Traffic is currently queuing for six miles on the northbound M11, with the motorway partially blocked at J9 for the A11, Saffron Walden

Cambridge’s roads are in a sorry state this morning- it’s not surprising, but it’s still worth reporting- isn’t it?

Heavy congestion on city roads

There are some major delays in and around Cambridge this morning- no obvious sign of any single cause, but we’ll keep you updated as soon as we find out any more:

Catch the bus(t)!

More nudity for your morning here, this time courtesy of the female workers of Stagecoach, who have bared all for the Addenbrooke’s Breast Unit.

Female bus drivers at Stagecoach East have produced a limited edition ‘Womens’ Institute’-inspired calendar to help raise funds to buy life-saving equipment for Addenbrooke’s Breast Unit. Jemma is Miss July. She is a bus mechanic.

Corine Saunder-Silk, prosecuting, said: “The defendant first came to the attention of police on July 25 last year, when a man called police saying he could see the defendant stood in a doorway performing a sex act.

“The man said the defendant then began spinning around in a helicopter motion before going back inside the nearby building.”

Last night we were live as Professor Stephen Hawking launched Cambridge University’s new research centre into the future of AI, and had some stark words about the future of our species.

Traffic update

Delays on the A428

There is currently heavy traffic on the eastbound carriageway of the A428, between B1428 Cambridge Road (St Neots) and A1198 Ermine Street South (Caxton Gibbet).

Try and avoid the area if you can.

First things first...

Some changes:

Just in case you missed it yesterday, the Cambridge News website has a bright spangly new look- we’ve been working hard to improve our site, and as of yesterday we went live with a fresh new look, that hopefully improves on the experience of reading our stories.

Check out all the changes here, and do let us know your feedback- good (and bad!).
